[61] συντάγματα, “summaries”?
[62] The substance of this can be found in the account of Apelles in Book VII, pp. [96]-[97] supra; but the summarizer does not use the phrases of the earlier book, and he can hardly have had it before him.
[63] As before (p. 389 Cr.), Macmahon here translates καὶ δυνάμεις ἐπιτελέσαι, “he wrought miracles.”
[64] This, on the other hand, is taken almost verbatim from c. 33 of Book VII (pp. [92], [93] supra), the few slight differences between the two chapters being not other than a careless scribe might be expected to make.
[65] This also from Book VII, p. [93] supra, but slightly condensed.
[66] This also appears to be condensed from the account of Theodotus in Book VII, pp. [93], [94] supra. The summarizer adds to it the alleged denial by Theodotus of Christ’s divinity, which does not appear in Book VII.
[67] This, too, is not inconsistent with the account of “other Theodotians” in Book VII, pp [94], [95] supra, but omits all reference to the Nicolaitans.
[68] Here the summarizer reverts to Book VIII, pp. [113], [114] supra, from which his account of the Phrygians or Montanists appears to be taken. The phrases used are not identical, and while Book VIII merely says that the Montanist heresy agrees with the Patripassianism of the Noetian, the Summary declares that the first was absolutely derived from the second.
[69] κατὰ καιροὺς καλούμενον πρὸς τὰ συμβαίνοντα. Cf. the καλούμενον κατὰ χρόνων τροπήν, p. 434 Cr. Otherwise this chapter seems to be a condensed paraphrase rather than a series of extracts from Book IX, the summarizer having here added together the “heresies” so called of Noetus and Callistus. As mentioned in the Introduction, he is careful not to mention that Callistus was a Pope, and in the last sentence but one, he omits the name of Sabellius which is mentioned in the earlier book. Cf. p. [130] supra.
[70] He now reverts to Hermogenes, against whom Tertullian wrote, and who must therefore in the time of Callistus have long been dead. The few lines given here correspond to the opening sentences of the chapter on this heretic in Book VIII, p. [112] supra, which see.
